From NOSQL to MySql (BDB to mysql) - Part2

So we are now in third week of Mysql deployment and slowly we are moving nodes from BDB to Mysql  Results so far have been promising.
1) We had ran into some query optimisation issues with Mysql that I blogged here http://neopatel.blogspot.com/2012/04/mysql-subquery-multiple-columns.html
2) Just ran into a 4 byte unicode issue with Mysql where utf8 with mysql wont support 4 bytes characters and apparently you have to use utf8mb4 for it, how stupid of Mysql.  Will write a separate blog post for it.

But as far as performance is concerned its rocking so far. On 20th we did the deployment and as soon as the node went live with Mysql you can see immediate drop in load avg consistently for this week. This is because most of the processing that was done by in memory db on app node is now transferred to Mysql.  But in second graph you would see that Mysql is sitting ducks and its no where close to app node load avg. Now this is with 3 nodes pounding, we would add 10+ nodes to start with on each Mysql and then consolidate later as I want to start conservative.

Biggest benefit we would  get is instead of managing 120+ BDBs on each node we would manage 10 Mysql servers and later we would even consolidate them once we see them sitting idle. I will share more details on sharding architecture I came up with in another blog post soon.

Spring 3.2 quartz 2.1 Jobs added with no trigger must be durable.

I am trying to enable HA on nodes and in that process I found that in a two test node setup a job that has a frequency of 10 sec was running into deadlock. So I tried upgrading from Quartz 1.8 to 2.1 by following the migration guide but I ran into an exception that says "Jobs added with no trigger must be durable.". After looking into spring and Quartz code I figured out that now Quartz is more strict and earlier the scheduler.addJob had a replace parameter which if passed to true would skip the durable check, in latest quartz this is fixed but spring hasnt caught up to this. So what do you do, well I jsut inherited the factory and set durability to true and use that public class DurableJobDetailFactoryBean extends JobDetailFactoryBean {     public DurableJobDetailFactoryBean() {         setDurability(true);     } } and used this instead of JobDetailFactoryBean in the spring bean definition     <bean i...

Jersey streaming binary data

In the previous post I showed how you can post binary data to a jersey REST api. You can also use Jersey to serve files, although its better done by apache or nginx but sometimes you might want to serve thumbnails stored in a database out of a service and put varnish in front of the REST api to cache the thumbnails. This is just a demonstration of using jersey to serve binary data in streaming fashion. @Path("/download-service") public class DownaloadService extends SecureRestService { private static final AppLogger logger = AppLogger.getLogger(DownaloadService.class); @POST @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM) public StreamingOutput getThumbnail( @FormParam("securityKey") final String securityKey, @FormParam("guid") final String guid) throws JSONException { return new StreamingOutput() { @Override public void write(OutputStream out) throws IOException { try { if (!isAuthorized(securityKey)) { response.sendErro...
